About
the Book:
Following
on the heels of her critically acclaimed prequel novels Dark Alchemy
and Mercury Retrograde comes the first installment in Laura Bickle’s
dark contemporary fantasy series, Nine of Stars, a Wildlands Novel
Winter
has always been a deadly season in Temperance, but this time, there’s
more to fear than just the cold…
As
the daughter of an alchemist, Petra Dee has faced all manner of
occult horrors—especially since her arrival in the small town of
Temperance, Wyoming. But she can’t explain the creature now
stalking the backcountry of Yellowstone, butchering wolves and
leaving only their skins behind in the snow. Rumors surface of the
return of Skinflint Jack, a nineteenth-century wraith that kills in
fulfillment of an ancient bargain.
The
new sheriff in town, Owen Rutherford, isn’t helping matters. He’s
a dangerously haunted man on the trail of both an unsolved case and a
fresh kill—a bizarre murder leading him right to Petra’s partner
Gabriel. And while Gabe once had little to fear from the mortal
world, he’s all too human now. This time, when violence hits close
to home, there are no magical solutions.
It’s
up to Petra and her coyote sidekick Sig to get ahead of both Owen and
the unnatural being hunting them all—before the trail turns deathly
cold.
About
the Author:
Laura
Bickle grew up in rural Ohio, reading entirely too many comic books
out loud to her favorite Wonder Woman doll. After graduating with an
MA in Sociology-Criminology from Ohio State University and an MLIS in
Library Science from the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, she
patrolled the stacks at the public library and worked with data
systems in criminal justice. She now dreams up stories about the
monsters under the stairs. Her work has been included in the ALA’s
Amelia Bloomer Project 2013 reading list and the State Library of
Ohio’s Choose to Read Ohio reading list for 2015-2016.
